Yes - pirating media is wrong. But when you admit that, you have to keep going. Is it right to right-click+save-as a picture you come across on the internet? Is it right to record a song you hear on the radio? Is it right to record a movie or sporting event when it's playing on TV?

And then you have to ask yourself - "have I ever in my life taken the work of someone without paying for it, whether intentionally or not?". Most people in life have at one point or another pirated a form of media Big Grin

Also, it's fine that you don't agree with everything I say. Life would be boring if everyone had the same viewpoint.

One thing though. Surely if a game gets an 90 something on Metacritic(stupid site I know) why would you need to "demo" it for yourself to see if it's good? With written and video reviews, surely that's enough?

Well I think that the score varies between users, for instance Counterstrike Source got a 93 on Metacritic, so I bought it when it was on sale and I hate the game. Same with Mass Effect, it comes down to a matter of opinion. If I had tried either of those games, even as just a demo, I never would've made the purchases.
